Abstract

A process for the production of a slurry of bottom ashes from incineration of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) and the use thereof in the manufacture of cement mixes with improved properties.

Description

  • The present invention regards the use of aqueous slurries of ground bottom ash from incineration of municipal solid wastes in the manufacture of cement mixes.
    • INTRODUCTION
  • The amount of municipal solid wastes (MSW) available in Europe is a very big amount. It is estimated to be about 150 millions ton per year. In order to reduce the amount of waste disposed in landfill, MSW is incinerated. The reduction in mass achieved by the incineration process is about 70% of the original amount. Therefore, the potential amount of ash obtainable by incineration in Europe referred to the total mass of MSW is 150(1-0.70)=45 million ton/year. However, today only 20% of the available MSW is treated by incineration, and then about 9 million ton/year of ash are available. Most of this amount is still dumped in landfill.
  • The greatest amount (90%) of the incineration ash of MSW is in form of slag-like material containing 5-15 mm grains and is called "bottom ash" since it is dumped from the grate after combustion. On the other hand, the lower amount of ash (10%) is available in form of fine particles, is transported by the exausted combustion gas and is called "fly ash". The two terms "bottom ash" and "fly ash" waste, are analogous to the corresponding materials obtained by burning coal and already widely used in the cement industry.
    • PRIOR ART
  • The use of MSW bottom ash as aggregate in asfalt concrete for road constructions is well known in the technical literature (R.W. Styron and F.H. Gustin "MSW ash aggregate for use in asphalt concrete", ASTM Special Technical Publication. Proceedings of Symposium on a Critical Look on the waste materials, Miami, USA, pp. 129-142, 1992).
  • Some researchers are studing the potential application of MSW bottom ash as aggregate for cement concrete (J. Pera, L. Contaz, J. Ambroise and M. Chababbet, "Use of incinerator bottom ash in concrete", Cement and Concrete Research, Vol. 27, pp. 1-5, 1997).
  • Other researchers are studing the behaviour of MSW bottom ash in the field of road construction after treatment with small amount of cement (3%) in order to improve the behaviour of MSW bottom ash as aggregate (G. Pecquer, C. Crignon and B Quénée, "Behaviour of cement treated MSWI bottom ash", Waste Management, 21, pp. 229-233, 2001, financially supported through the European Contract "Mashroad" BRST CT97-5150.
  • Another interesting use of both fly and bottom ash from MSW has been studied in Japan by Taiheyo Cement Corporation (H. Uchikawa, H. Obana, "Ecocement: Frontier for recycling of urban composite waste", World Cement, pp. 33-36, 1995). According to this process, the ash from incinerated MSW is used as ingredient for producing clinker by feeding the kiln with the other usual raw materials as limestone, clay, etc. Moreover, the clinker manufacturing process is significantly modified in order to recover alkali and heavy metals which, in form of chloride salts, volatilize with the exhausted combustion gas from the kiln.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • It has been surprisingly found that the ground bottom ash from Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) acts as a true cementitious material able to increase strength and durability of concrete, provided that the bottom ash is ground in the presence of water.
  • Bottom ash from MSW, treated by a wet grinding process according to the invention, can be advantageously used as an additional ingredient in the production of cement mixes, grouts, mortars and concretes with improved properties of strength, elastic modulus, resistance to aggressive agents and water penetration, in combination with other conventional components such as cement, sand, coarse aggregate and chemical admixtures.
  • Wet-ground bottom ashes are in the form of a slurry which is produced by grinding coarse grains of the slag-type bottom ash in the presence of water. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the aqueous slurry has a water content of 15-80%, preferably from 45 to 55%. In another preferred embodiment, the grinding is carried out in two step, consisting in a preliminary dry grinding in the absence of water followed by final grinding after the addition of water to produce the aqueous slurry.
  • In order to reduce the volume of the slurry as well as the cost for its storage and transportation, the water content can be further lowered by the addition of chemical admixtures such as superplasticizers based on polycarboxilate.
  • The addition into the concrete of bottom ash, finely ground in the mill in the absence of water, does not provide concrete mixtures with the same performances obtained using an aqueous slurry of bottom ash, both bottom ashes being compared at the same fineness and chemical composition.
  • From the same source of material coming from a given incinerator, two bottom ashes were produced by dry or wet grinding at the same fineness, the only difference being the presence or the absence of water into the mill during the grinding process; the dry and the wet bottom ashes were used as additions for cement concrete mixtures at the same percentage, and the latter performed much better than the former. The experimental results are reported in the following Examples.
    • EXAMPLES
  • Two samples of bottom ash from the same incineration plant (Table 1) were ground at approximately the same particle size distribution of 1-10 µm (Figure), except for the presence or the absence of water during the mill; these materials will be indicated as wet-ground bottom ash (WG-BA) and dry-ground bottom ash (DG-BA) respectively.
  • The wet-ground bottom ash was manufactured in form of an aqueous slurry containing 50% of water. Similar results (not showed here) were obtained with other slurries where the water content was from 10 to 80%, except that the lower the amount of water, the more difficult is the manufacture of the slurry for its higher stiffness.
  • The other ingredients used to manufactured concrete mixes were:

    Portland cement CEM I 52.5R
  • Figure 00040002
    Sand (0-5 mm)
  • Figure 00040003
    Gravel (5-25 mm)
  • Figure 00040004
    Superplasticizer to improve workability
  • Figure 00040005
    Ground limestone (1-10 µm) used as filler
  • Figure 00040006
    Coal Fly ash (1-20 µm) from coal thermal plant.
  • Some examples are shown in order to demonstrate the definite superiority of the wet-ground bottom ash from incinerated MSW with respect to the dry-ground one, as well as with respect to other fine materials (ground limestone or coal fly ash) usually utilized in concrete mixtures.
    • Example 1
  • Three concrete mixtures were manufactured, the only difference being the presence of fine mineral additions in terms of:
  • Figure 00040007
    Ground limestone (GL) for the control mix
  • Figure 00040008
    Dried-ground bottom ash (DG-BA)
  • Figure 00040009
    Wet-ground bottom ash (WG-BA)
  • Table 2 shows the composition of the three concrete mixtures, whereas Table 3 shows the properties of concretes in terms of compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity on cubic specimens (100 mm) and penetration to water under pressure (UNI EN 12390-8) on prismatic specimens (200x200x120 mm).
  • The performance results shown in Table 3 indicate that, with respect to control mixture (A) where ground-limestone was used, there is a significant reduction in performance for the mixture B with the dryed-ground bottom ash, and an important as un-expected performance increase for the mixture C where the wet-ground bottom ash was used. The performance improvement of wet-ground bottom ash with respect to dry-ground bottom ash was particularly surprising:
  • Figure 00050001
    111% more in compressive strength at 1 day
  • Figure 00050002
    134% more in compressive strength at 28 days
  • Figure 00050003
    36% more in dynamic elastic modulus at 1day
  • Figure 00050004
    25% more in dynamic elastic modulus at 28 days
  • Figure 00050005
    62% less in water penetration under pressure
  • All these results indicate the better performance in terms of strength, elastic properties and durability (determined as lower penetration of aggressive agents through environmental water) of the mix (C) with wet-ground bottom ash according to the present invention with respect to the mix with ground limestone (A), and even more with respect to the mix (B) with the ground bottom ash without the special treatment (wet-grinding) according to the present invention.
  • The reason why there is a big difference between dry-ground bottom ash and the corresponding wet-ground bottom ash can be found in the difference in the specific weight: 2230 kg/m3 for the concrete with dry-ground bottom ash mix versus 2450 kg/m3 for the concrete with wet-ground bottom ash (Table 3). This could be ascribed to the gas development when dry-ground bottom ash was used directly into the concrete mixture due to the transformation of aluminium metallic particles of the bottom ash into hydrogen bubbles and Al(OH)3: 2Al + 6H2O ⇒ 3H2 + 2Al(OH)3
  • When wet-ground bottom ash was used, the reaction [1], developing gas and potentially responsible for the strength reduction of the concrete, occurred in the mill and not in the concrete mixture. In other words no hydrogen gas was produced into the concrete mixer when wet-ground bottom ash was used.
  • However, independently of this chemical effect, the better performance of the concrete with wet-ground bottom ash (C) with respect to the control mix (A) indicates the unexpected binder capability of the wet-ground bottom ash.
    • Example 2
  • Two mixes with the wet-ground bottom ash from incineration of MSW and the well known coal fly ash were manufactured in order to assess the technical advantage of the bottom ash treated according to the present invention with respect to the fly ash from coal thermal plan widely used all over the world as excellent artificial pozzolan and in particular for blended cement according to the European Norm EN 197-1.
  • Table 4 shows the composition of two mortar cement mixes with ground-wet bottom ash and coal fly ash, whereas Table 5 indicates the strength performance at 1, 7 and 28 days. These results indicate that the bottom ash from incinerated MSW treated according to the present invention performs significantly better than fly ash from coal thermal plant in terms of higher compressive strength.
    • Example 3
  • Table 6 shows the composition of two concrete mixtures with and without WG-BA. In this special example WG-BA, treated according to the present invention, was used to replace about 25% of Portland Cement with respect to the control mixture without wet-ground bottom ash (WG-BA). In order to reduce the amount of water in the aqueous slurry (which can be advantageous for reducing the volume of the slurry and then the cost for storage as well as for transportation) a superplasticizer based on polycarboxilate was used in the same amount as that used in the reference mix without bottom ash.
  • The compressive strength result (Table 7) indicate that, due to the use of the WG-BA, 29% of Portland Cement was reduced without any significant difference in the strength development (Table 6). This use of the WG-BA treated according to the present invention is particularly useful in concrete structures where the cement content must be reduced in order to decrease the thermal stress (related to the heat liberated by cement hydration) as well as the shrinkage strain (related to the water evaporation from hydrated cement paste). Moreover, at equal concrete performance, the partial replacement of Portland Cement (which needs huge amounts of energy to be produced) by the available bottom ash from MSW, treated according to the present invention, is one of the most friendly process for the environment, since there is a reduction in the energy needed to produce 1m3 of concrete of given performance and a more useful and safe allocation of the bottom ash from incineration of MSW into the concrete with respect to the usual dump in the open air.
    • Example 4
  • Table 8 shows the composition of two mortar mixes with (WG-BA)1 and (WG-BA)2, the only difference between these two wet-ground bottom ash being the way of wet-grounding. In one case, (WG-BA)1 was obtained by grinding for 120 min in a mill bottom ash form incinerated MSW and water (50% by weight of the slurry); in the second case (WG-BA)2 was obtained by a preliminary dry grinding of the bottom ash for 60 min, in the same mill as that adopted for producing (WG-BA)1 and finishing the wet-grinding in the presence of water (50% of the slurry) in the same mill for additional 75 min so that the particle size distribution was approximately the same (within 1-15 µm).
  • Table 9 shows the mechanical properties of the two cement mixes and indicates that the two wet-ground bottom ashes perform approximately the same provided that they are compared at the same fineness.
